Для совершенствующих свой английский посредством чтения, хочу предложить упрощенный вариант-
чтение сценариев.
Это своего рода книги, но написаны без различных художественнх изысков, поэтому читать их гораздо проще, чем худ. лит. Еще одна особенность- сценарии пишутся всегда в настоящем времени, так что сложностей с грамматикой быть не должно даже у начинающих учить английский язык.
Судите сами, это отрывок из всем известного фильма
Красотка (Pretty Woman):
Vivian hears a car slowing behind them. She glances over her
shoulder and sees a sleek black Mercedes following them.
VIVIAN
Look at that.
The Mercedes pulls up past them and stops. Vivian and Kit pause.
VIVIAN
(grinning)
There's rent.
Kit isn't happy about the delay, but she waits obediently as
Vivian walks up to the car and leans over the passenger window.
The window electrically rolls down and Vivian looks inside.
In the driver's seat is Edward Harris, a good looking, well
groomed man in his late forties. He is wearing an expensive suit
and tie.
VIVIAN
You want a date?
Edward stares at Vivian coolly, as if still debating. His eyes
look at her as if studying a label on a bottle of wine. He makes
a decision.
EDWARD
Yes, hop in.
VIVIAN
How much you want to spend?
Edward smiles, amused for some reason.
EDWARD
What are your rates?
Vivian, influenced by his car and clothes, blurts out a high
figure.
VIVIAN
A hundred.
EDWARD
For the whole night?
VIVIAN
(quickly)
For an hour.
EDWARD
I'm looking for someone for the
whole night.
VIVIAN
For what?
7.
EDWARD
Whatever.
VIVIAN
Five hundred.
EDWARD
That seems high.
VIVIAN
Three hundred.
Edward is enjoying this game.
EDWARD
Two fifty.
Vivian eyes Edward. Two fifty is more than enough, but she can't
help thinking that she could get more from him. She decides not
to push it.
